The Center for American Progress being run by John Podesta, who was co-chairmnan of Obama’s presidential transition team and helped form his initial cabinet after the 2008 elections.

(American Thinker) — The Obama-allied Center for American Progress has released a report that blames Islamophobia in America on a small group of Jews and Israel supporters in America, whose views are being backed by millions of dollars. This “network”, according to the news release, have “have worked hard to push narratives that Obama might be a Muslim, that mosques are incubators of radicalization, and that “radical Islam” has infiltrated all aspects of American society — including the conservative movement.

Who are the figures mentioned as the promoters of prejudice? Most of them are prominent Jews and supporters of Israel, such as David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes and Steven Emerson (the founder of the Investigative Project on Terrorism). The eight foundations mentioned as funding this effort include are almost exclusively ones founded and funded by Jewish donors, and lest readers not be aware of this fact, the Center for American Progress lists not only the other beneficiaries of the charities and foundations (most of them having Jewish or Israel in the title) but also goes to the trouble of naming the individuals behind these charities — not just the donors but also those who serve on the boards.

Why include this additional information except to highlight that Jewish people are behind this effort to “defame” Muslims? By “outing” the people involved, the report puts endangers them. Furthermore, this “report” relies on the conspiracy and age-old anti-Semitic trope that Jews fan prejudice towards others and promotes divisions for their own nefarious purposes (to support Israel in this case). This mindset is straight out of Mein Kampf.

The report also stokes the view that rich Jews operate behind the scenes and use their wealth to control the media and government policy (politicians are also mentioned as being ensnared in this web).

The Center for American Progress was founded by Herbert and Marion Sandler (prominent mortgage bubble billionaires who partner with George Soros in his political activities). The Center for American Progress to a great extent is funded by George Soros and his Open Society Institute. George Soros is a fierce opponent of Israel and alleges that the Israel “lobby” all but controls American foreign policy. This view is echoed by Stephen Walt who flags this report in his column at the Foreign Policywebsite.

Actually it was the barbaric beheadings on TV and their 17000 other murderous acts that won this acclaim for them.

Project Podesta reached its logical conclusion in Al Gore’s effort to litigate his way into the White House in 2000. During the infamous 36-day, post-election stand-off, Podesta worked behind the scenes with Gore’s legal team even as the Clinton White House publicly declared its neutrality. Podesta bears personal responsibility for forcing the election into the U.S. Supreme Court.

Most of official Washington assumed that the election crisis would end on November 14, when Gore’s recount deadline expired and Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris would certify the winner. In order to reassure Americans that this would be the case, General Services Administration head David J. Barram held a press conference on November 8, 2000, at which he announced that he was ready to release the $5.8 million in presidential transition funds and to open the transition offices to whichever candidate was certified the winner on November 14. Barram repeated this promise several times via radio and television interviews.

However, on November 13 — the day before the recount deadline — John Podesta sent a memo to Barram ordering him to keep the transition offices locked and to withhold the presidential transition funds, thus giving Gore extra time to litigate.

Bush won the Florida recount, as expected. But the transition offices remained locked. Podesta’s unprecedented act stunned official Washington and plunged America into a constitutional crisis.

Four years later, when Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry announced his plan to mobilize a legal team of more than 6,000 attorneys for the 2004 election, it was evident that Project Podesta had changed U.S. politics forever.

Wish there were more of these “rich Jews” unafraid to name the enemies of freedom.

At some point these idiots will have to admit that muslims killing innocent people is what’s stoking “Islamophobia” – which in itself is an incorrect term, seeing that a phobia is the irrational fear of something and muslims killing innocent people is very real and very possible.

commieobamie

There is no money behind the osama obama IS a islamo moslim; there is only osama obama supporting and aiding and abetting islamo moslims the world over that makes HIM an islamo moslim.
He funds millions to islamo Fakestinians, moslim brotherhood terrorist cults, and send Holder and Nazipalotano against the AMERICAN people.
LIARS!!!

That old nazi collaborator Soros has a lot of nerve demonizing Jews. Looks like he transferred his loyalty from one tyranny to another. Fckn lowlife P.O.S., something disgusting to be scraped off your shoe.

You know this is gonna effect the Jewish vote

Already 2 Jews in New Jersy, 1 in Hollywood and another is thinking about not voting for The Won

Thunder Lizard

Sorry, but I disagree BritishDragon. I don’t believe this administration and its sycophant support organizations will ever admit that Muslims killing innocent people is what’s stoking “Islamophobia.” Quite frankly, I think most of these people would be incapable of recognizing that fact, let alone admitting it until the day they and their families were personally threatened with beheading unless they convert. In my opinion, they are that deep into deception.

This is just part of the “new wave” of Antisemitism that is welling up around the globe.

I volunteer to wait by Podesta’s burrow til he pops his head
head out… and club the little rodent. To hell with Orkin.

How quiet Hollywood becomes when their ideology supercedes their faith.

‘”We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.” –Adolf Hitler

Crazy people.

Islam’s murderous global rampage has lasted centuries at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives. No one else is to blame but Islam and the devil that controls them.

Yeah, kinda like the Tea Party are responsible for the debt rating downgrade lol.

Truth is that muslims are kufirophobes who commit kufirocide per hundreds of commands in their manual of war called the koran to exterminate, slaughter, behead, molest, maim, enslave, thieve from, burn, melt, lie to then kill…the kufir (all nonmuslims, it’s a “N” word they use for the smart people).

All muslims do is sit in their mosque where they advocate sexual perversions and abuses and plot how to kill off the kufir.

If you think otherwise you’re delusional.

Kufirocide can take on many forms (jihad), litigation jihad, food poisoning jihad, infrastructure sabotage jihad, abusing public programs jihad over-reproducing jihad, school infiltration jihad, raping nonmuslims jihad, etc. it’s all celebrated by their book of war and creativity is rewarded as long as it harms the kufir.

A muslim does not abide a nation’s laws, they just bide their time until they can impose sharia and slaughter the kufir. Time and again this is their repeat history. 270 million dead by bloody retarded islam in its 1400 years and it’s still on its jihad towards dar al salaam (when all kufir are dead).

I suppose they (whoever all that is) figure since we haggle and crab about the ACLU than they’ll get back @ us for being in support of this C.f.A.P?

We’re all in a stew, the kettle is cooking.

Hickhayseed

messed it up…. AFP of Mr Levin was what I had meant

Teacake

Not that all the references in their book of filth commands them to kill Jews has anything to do with the disgust one has for all things islam

clarification: ……”they’ll get back @ us (whomever all we are) for being supportive of AFP”…..

“Furthermore, this “report” relies on the conspiracy and age-old anti-Semitic trope that Jews fan prejudice towards others and promotes divisions for their own nefarious purposes (to support Israel in this case)”

First, Semitic is a race; one that has little to do with Jewish people in America. Know who Semites are? Those brown people Americans like to bomb.

Second, stop equating Jews with Israel. True Torah Jews are among Israel’s biggest critics…ever wonder why? Because their religion has been stolen from them and has been turned into an excuse to commit genocide.

It is the 4th quarter now. Barack Obama has paralyzed the repukelican collection of douche bags. He scorched them early on. His outside game has been unstoppable. He keeps shooting 3 pointers from all corners. He slum dunks at will in repukelican faces. Audience jumps to their feet at the beautiful leadership shown by Barack the terminator in the conclusion of the Bin Laden saga. He dribbles and cuts through the crappy repukelican team doubling the stock market (the as***holes were crapping in their pants in 2008 when DOW hit 6000). His inside game is no less captiviating. Now coach has taken Obama out and he is resting. Score is 130 to 12. The 4 th quarter is very boring. Repukes are lining up loser after loser, Perry, Palin, Bachman, Gingrich to see if they can get something. Three points, two points, a point, a foul or what have you. These bench warmers are even more boring. They elbow Barack’s team, they hit them in the groin, they pull their t-shirts down when refereeis not watching. They attack the NBA aka the government herein and question long established rules and regulations.They trip them while they are running. And worst of all they have hired fake audience to cheer for them, and also have bought a refree aka S&P to call false calls for them.

None of these matter, however. Score is beyond fixable. It is 130 to 12 for crying out loud. It is too laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. OBAMA HAS 2012 IN THE BANK.

Welcome commenters from CAP. Just stringing along with your propoganda?

This report is a first class effort to incite violence and division between hard line liberal anti-semites and the rest of us who actually learned something about WWll History in HS.

It must burn your asses that a whole generation was raised to see hate, oppression and genocide for what it is. E V I L

The Jews who are anti-Zionist are not the most Torah True. They just claim to be. They ignore all of the sources in their religion that go against their position (And there are a lot, over many centuries) and rely on a few passages of the Talmud. (The Talmud contains lots of different opinions on almost every religious issue) As a matter of fact a lot of them are zealots who behave way too much like the extremist muslims. They riot and create no-go zones for the police. They go far beyond what traditional Judaism has to say about feminine modesty and try to impose their views on others. Some of their women have even started wearing face veils. Nothing in the history of Judaism calls for that. So no they’re not the most religious. They’re the most crazy.

Avigayil

The difference being, that when Jews behave this way, they are in violation of their religion whereas Muslims are following theirs.

Any American christian conservative with ears and eyes know a cult when they see and hear one. We the people have good laws and don’t need Sharia which is some kind of idea formed by the cult leader who supposedly wrote the book of hatred called the Koran. It is not normal to cut off a person’s head and this is just for starters. All the rules seem to be bloody and arbitrary and directed towards anyone who isn’t a Muslim.
Nope…we didn’t need Jews or anyone else to point to us that our lives are in danger because as Christians we are considered Infidels by Muslims and in their goal towards heaven they need to kill a Christian. We didn’t need Jews to tell us how these terrorist Jihadist are trying to destroy America from within. How they use horrendous rules to beat and maim their families are right in front of our eyes! We don’t need Jews to understand the hatred of Americans is bred into these people when they are young and learn the Koran book of hatred to the point where they believe that suicide is a great idea. Nope…don’t need Jews to figure out these terrorists have cells in every state and all are near colleges. If they are too dumb to use up our resources they go to jail and continue their program of hate there where they are fed and cared for while the average American can’t even afford to go to a dentist. Nope Jews need not say a word about these creepy cultist who are no different than the followers of Charles Mansion, Jimmy Jones and Rev. Moon.

@McDonald — no really, you drive a Lexus hybrid? Sure that’s not a Toyota with a “wing” on it? ha ha Does it have an Obama sticker? (you’re killng us!) Does it have a windmill on the roof? Can you stick your feet through the floor like Fred Flintstone? ha ha ha

The “Islamophobes” are the ones who keep saying it is the religion of peace. They are so afraid of the Mulims they won’t speak out against them.

Phobia? No! Odium! This hatred has been earned.

Strangely enough, Major Nidal Hasan was ALSO on Obama’s White House Transition Team. The same Major Nidal Hasan that wound up being the Fort Hood Shooter. That was his assignment prior to being stationed at Fort Hood. That is why we don’t hear much about Major Hasan in the news. That is why he is receiving Full Disability, and is still receiving his Full Pay from the Army. That is why he STILL has not been Charged with a Crime from the Military. He was on OBAMA’s HAND PICKED WHITE HOUSE TRANSITION TEAM. He was picked BECAUSE he was a Muslim. There are Several MUSLIMs working for Obama in the White House. Now it seems, there is a story on WND that States that there are at least 3 White House muslim workers with Ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Same Muslim Brotherhood that Obama and Hillary are trying to install as rulers of Egypt and Libya. The Same Muslim Brotherhood that has declared the United States an Enemy of Islam and have vowed to Destroy Israel. The Story is Here.

Now there’s some irony. Jews who supported Obama being betrayed and accused of being the problem.

I love how so many of the comment make blanket claims without qualification. This is usually the sign of the radical (though not always). (See what I did there? Try it sometime.)

“Phobia? No! Odium! This hatred has been earned.”

Really? The hatred of anyone who practices Islam is earned? Really? All of them? What population of American Muslims do you really think believe in a ‘political Islam’? What do you *really* think the chances are of “Shria Law” taking over America? 20%? 30%?

You all really are the modern-day segregationists and you don’t even know it. I really do pity you even though I know your reaction will be one of defense rather than contemplation.
